About the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser 2087

The Bissell Pet Hair Eraser 2087 corded upright pairs the washable pre-motor foam with a post-motor filter that captures fine dander before the exhaust — the stage that matters most for allergy sufferers in a pet home.

🔎 Bissell Pet Hair Eraser 2087 hepa filter — what to know

The 2087 post-motor filter sits downstream of the motor and clogs slowly, so it's easy to forget. Replace it when it stays grey after rinsing or the media is damaged; a spent post filter restricts airflow and leaks fine dust.

✓ Buying Advice

Genuine Bissell or quality aftermarket both work when the listing names the 2087; refresh the pre- and post-motor filters together for full pet-dander filtration.

⚠ Common Mistakes

The 2087 mistake is cleaning only the pre-motor foam and never the post-motor filter. The second is refitting either filter damp.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I replace the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser 2087 hepa filter?
Bissell suggests replacing the Pet Hair Eraser 2087 hepa filter Every 12 months under normal use — sooner with pets or daily heavy use. Signs it's due: Reduced suction, musty odor. Replace the Pet Hair Eraser 2087 post-motor filter when it won't rinse clean, separately from the pre-motor foam you wash more often.
Can I just wash the Pet Hair Eraser 2087 hepa filter instead of replacing it?
Often, yes — many vacuum filters are washable. Rinse under cold water only (no detergent, no hot water), squeeze gently and air-dry fully — a full 24 hours for Dyson filters — before refitting. Replace it when it won't rinse back to clean, the foam crumbles, or the pleats/mesh are damaged; a washable filter still wears out eventually.
Do I have to buy the genuine Bissell part, or will a compatible one work?
Yes — a compatible (aftermarket) hepa filter works well in the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser 2087 as long as it's made for this exact model. Genuine Bissell or quality aftermarket both work when the listing names the 2087; refresh the pre- and post-motor filters together for full pet-dander filtration.
What's the most common mistake when replacing the Pet Hair Eraser 2087 hepa filter?
The 2087 mistake is cleaning only the pre-motor foam and never the post-motor filter. The second is refitting either filter damp.
